So it sold to less than 1/12 PS4 owners ? probably it's because I'm use to the Nintendo numbers but it doesn't seem really good (at least for how it could have sold...)

Yup. That's the reason. Ps4 owners have more options thanks to great 3rd party support so no one game gets the attach ratio that ninty games get. It's always been like that since ps1. For a game on a ps console, it's sold great so far.

Attach rates always go down on bigger userbases, doesn't necesarilly have anything to do with more competition. PS4 owners didn't really have all that many options back when Bloodborne launched, it was the first amazing PS4 exclusive. Bloodborne sells a lot to hardcore gamers, who upgrade their consoles sooner than casual gamers. A bigger userbase probably wouldn't have a big effect on the sales of Bloodborne. Just look at the sales of Metroid Prime 1 & 2 compared to Metroid Prime 3.

And Vita games (similar userbase as Wii U) can only dream of the attach rates of Ninty games on Wii U. Ninty games sell like that because they're good, not because they don't have competition.

Comparing attach rates between such different userbases is useless though, so I'll agree there.

Infamous: Second Son and Driveclub were amazing PS4 exclusives that launched before Bloodborne (both now above 2 million as well). And yeah PS4 still had loads of games then, they may have been multiplatform but they were there and not on Wii U.

Oh btw Killzone: Shadow Fall, a launch PS4 exclusive sold 2.1 million by Fenruary 2014, so maybe that was amazing too ;)
